Re: NLDS: Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants

Was I the only one who was baffled by Dusty's decision to pull Arroyo after 91 pitches? Why waste any part of your bullpen when you're up by 9? Obviously I'm biased here, but I also wanted to punch Baker in his ................ing face. And why have him bat if you're going to pull him?

This is no surprise, but Dusty Baker is an idiot.

There are certain managers whose moves just baffle me, and he's one. Ron Washington is a real winner too.

Re: NLDS: Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants

Obviously the situation isn't dire or anything having only needing to win 1 of the next 3 at home, but the Reds really kinda need a win today for the rotation to get rested and allow time for Cueto to heal.

They left Leake off the postseason roster and Latos pitched Game 1. Who would even go in Game 4?

Latos only pitched about 4 innings right? Seems like he would be good to go in game 4.

Also Cueto has an oblique strain. They can remove him and add Leake for a G5 start but that would mean losing Cueto for the NLCS.
